Yes, this is true. Many women in America don't get paid Maternity leave. According to BBC, only 21% of all families in America gets Paid Maternity Leave. That's an issue considering that the United States of America is one of the most wealthy countries in the world, and yet less than 1/4th of Americans have access to Paid Maternity Leave.

Maternity leave can last from 2 weeks up to a year, it really does depend on your employer and your employment code (Part-time, Full-time, Seasonal, Flex, Reduced-time, etc). For my position and employment code, I only get 2-6 weeks of unpaid maternity. Horrifyingly, I used to work with a woman who was trying to get pregnant, so she started working full time to get 20 paid weeks of maternity leave, instead of the regular 6 weeks unpaid. Unfortunately, this caused her to overwork, causing her many injuries, and eventually caused a miscarriage...

The things women and hard working families have to do in order to just get paid leave. Just to be seen and treated as people. In America, most citizens are barely able to scrape by. Our wages are shit, while inflation is high (and will continue to increase) and most Americans are in debt ON AVERAGE $96,371. So, Americans not only have to worry about raising a family. They also have to worry about paying off mortgage, student debt, bills and rent, and other necessities like a phone bill or internet bill. (Yes these are considered necessities now. This is how many people do their job, do their schoolwork, get access to their bank or families, etc. Our world is reliable on the internet and cellphones now)

Isn't it so messed up how America wants to, and already has, limited woman's rights by limiting/banning abortion, as well as Birth Control / Morning After pills.. The FDA had to step in and announce that Morning After Pills aren't "abortion pills" because so many states are trying to illegalize/limit them.

And before anyone comes in here and says its not happening...Iowa has stopped paying Morning-After Pills and Abortions for Rape Victims..

MORE ABOUT ME (bio)

I’m 21. I have autism. I have PTSD and other mental illness (and idgaf). I use to identify as FtM, I identified this way for about 7 years. I grew up being a tomboy and having masculine interests. I didn’t “feel” like a girl and had some people say I was trans. So I did. I changed my name many times, grew out my facial hair, was socially out for years. Eventually I identified as Non Binary / Agender (for about 3-4 years) because I still “didn’t feel like a girl”. I was saving money and losing weight for top surgery.

I did some really deep thinking when I was 19 and realized I’m not trans.. a lot of my dysphoria was really just feeling insecure about my body and myself as a whole because I’ve been masculinizada my whole life. Both by TRA’s who claimed I was trans, and by shitty people who told me I was a man as an insult to my biological sex. I also learned that gender isn’t really a feeling…you don’t FEEL anything, most people don’t. I also felt pressured into being trans because I never heard of someone being a detransitioner or heard of someone reversing their identity in a societal way. I thought maybe there was something wrong with me for not wanting to be trans anymore. So before you say “you were never in my shoes” , I was, for a very very long time.

My interests! + More

I love writing poetry a lot, I’ve been writing poetry for about 5 years now. I also love reading books, usually popular ones. I also like playing video games on my switch and PC. I also just like writing in general. I’ll write essays about anything and everything. I also make websites as a side hussle. I also do water coloring! I might share my art one day :3

“You must never be loved by a man, never had a good relationship with men, men must hate you, etc”

I am close friends with 2 men who know I’m a radical feminist. I still have the ability to laugh with them, spend time with them, even have intellectual conversations with them about Radical Feminism. And I don’t care what people feel about this, because I’ve known them many years. Obviously I’m not only friends with men, I have plenty of female friends, more female friends than men.

Although I have friendships with men, I’m able to have a connection or romántica interest with men. I can also identify that they have a privilege I don’t. I can identify that the patriarchy hurts women and upholds men (I mean that’s what it is).

Also my dad knows I’m a radical feminist so 🌝 whatever ….

Anyways! Thanks for reading! 🇲🇽

I don’t hate trans people. I just don’t want TiM’s to be in female spaces for reasons I’ve explained 100 times before. Religious reasons, trauma caused by men, focus on womens issues, etc. I also think it’s misogynistic af to act and dress as stereotypical women.

I also think most trans people need further help in terms that their gender dysphoria is caused by trauma, autism, neurodivergency, self esteem, or even dysphoria caused by puberty. Like I said, I was trans most of my life, and after 10 years, I realized I wasn’t. I had genuine trauma that caused me to hate my female body, and I was also influenced by a bunch of people who taught me being GNC = trans. That I HAD to be trans because there’s no way a girl can be a tomboy.
